Hi lovely friends!! I miss all of you soooo much ( i have been a little home sick since i left India)! Anyway, i haven’t had a chance to post ince we have been here. the internet has a really weak connection and takes a few hours to just type and post this haha. But a lot has gone on since Saturday. We arrived safely in Kampala and took a nice 4 hour treck to Mbale were we have spent the last 5 days! It is so beautiful here and nothing like i expected and definately the EXACT opposite of India! It is green, the temperature is wonderful, the accomidations are great, and it is actually cool outside!! I didn’t expect such a large population of Christian’s and so many Christian schools, churches and Godly establishments! It is so wonderful and encouraging to see! We went to church on sunday and it was the so incredible to dance around and clap and sing to the top of lungs to our heavenly Father. I love to hear people sing and pray in other languages. It reminds me of how great and big our God is!! Monday through Friday we have been working at the children’s home and painting our little bottoms off! I thas been so funn 
Everyone is just enjoying each other companies and getting over sickness. Kara has had pink eye, Chris, Sarah, and Sage had a stomach thing, and me oh well i just got a case of scabies from India! (No big deal, everyone has medicine and is healing. Don’t worry mom!) Anyway, I am still learning a lot about our God and how incredible big He is and how He truely is our ultimate provider and how He is in COMPLETE control of my life and yours!! Don’t forget that and don’t forget how much i love and miss each of you! You guys leaving me comments me the world to me! Our flight for France leaves Sunday and we will arrive on Monday! Keep us in your prayers!!!!
It’s the song of the redeemed risin from the African plains…

The little mom in me doesn’t like it when you don’t post for a week
I miss you like crazy… We went to the Dr on Tuesday and saw the little one… Can you say BIG… already over 6 oz, haha… so I guess I am the only one not gaining any weight! Gender is CONFIRMED now, and the drs were right all along. We got a new couch!! It will be here at the end of the month, just in time for you to get back and claim my other one 
We are all so incredibly proud of you. I think that you are such an amazing young, Godly woman and I am blessed and privileged to have you as a sister. I MISS YOU!! and am soooo jealous that mom might get to see you! I love you! I will see you VERY VERY soon!! Covering you in blessings and prayers, My heart is with you!

Ryan! These experiences sound incredible!!!!! I miss you so much, and I can’t wait to hear your stories in person. I am so amazed and grateful to have a friend like you who would sacrifice so much to go and do God’s work. I get so excited thinking about our soph year! I can’t wait until we are all together again. I know God is using you, and the fact that you are having all of these incredible experiences makes me so happy
. I love you, and I’m counting down to august 4th!
